The unidentified virus that causes tomato fever is an infectious illness. The infection's primary signs and symptoms are tomato-shaped blisters that appear all over the body and expand to resemble a tomato, hence the name "Tomato flu." mostly impacts young children under the age of five. A "Hand, Foot, and Mouth illness" is tomato flu. In most situations, the clinical presentation is minimal. The infection is self-limiting and will go away on its own in 7–10 days. In areas where there are outbreaks, the diagnosis is established on the clinical history and physical examination. The etiological agent of this infectious disease, its course of therapy, and its vaccine are still unknown, and this is an important topic of research right now. By repurposing medications and vaccines, which are also synonymously being tried to treat the ailment at the moment, COVID-19 has given us lessons for epidemic preparedness and case management in emergency situations.

The article investigates approaches to reducing the incidence of acute respiratory viral infections among elderly patients. According to the author, in comparison with young people, respiratory viral infection in people over 65 years of age is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Elderly patients may have severe lower respiratory tract infections, pneumonia, or exacerbation of chronic multimorbid conditions. Additional problems arise due to the fact that elderly patients often do not have fever or respiratory symptoms, but have atypical symptoms, including weakness, confusion and falls. This leads to a failure in diagnosis, an increase in morbidity, the appointment of additional drugs and further nosocomial spread. Currently, it is necessary to introduce sensitive and rapid diagnostics at the place of medical care to detect all viruses and treat infected elderly patients. This will make it easier to understand the true burden of respiratory viruses. To protect the aging immune system, it is now important to combine this with the development of expanded vaccination strategies and new antiviral therapeutics

Gingival recession is one of the most popular periodontal diseases. Aesthetics and hypersensitivity are two major concerns with recession. Although there are multiple treatment options, minimally invasive techniques have recently received much attention due to better patient acceptance and pretty much identical outcomes/results when compared to traditional standard treatment options. Here, we report a case of 34-year-old male patient who presented with the chief complaint of sensitivity to warm and cold in the left upper front tooth region. A 2mm hole was created and a full thickness flap was elevated from the apical side of the tooth towards marginal gingiva, leaving the interdental papilla intact. After relieving the gingiva from beneath, it was sutured to the tooth as an anchorage. Many allogenic materials have been used to replace the space between the flap and bone underneath. The prognosis was fair for this procedure. However, the efficacy of a Novel Volume stabilizing collagen matrix with a modified Pinhole technique is unknown. This report has shown promising results for the treatment of Miller's Class I and II gingival recession.

The introduction of medical digital technologies can provide better access and flexibility of healthcare for the population. It includes the availability of open information about health, treatment, complications, and recent progress in biomedical research. Nowadays, even in low-income countries, diagnostic and medical services are becoming more accessible. However, many issues related to digital health technologies remain unresolved, including reliability, security, testing, and ethical issues.The penetration of AI currently affects almost all areas of work of medical organizations and government and supervision bodies in the field of healthcare, as well as all major nosological groups. The leading areas of AI application are: medical diagnostics and image analysis, predictive clinical and managerial analytics, medical decision support systems, data analysis of wearable devices, telemedicine, monitoring of patients with chronic non-communicable diseases, virtual assistants, including robot-assisted surgery, decision assistance mental health problems, etc.This article explores the role of interactive technologies in optimizing the patient care process and discusses the prospects and challenges they present for healthcare. In recent years, interactive technologies such as mobile applications, virtual reality, remote medical consultations and electronic health monitoring systems have become increasingly common in medical practice. Digital platforms can help optimize patient diagnosis, counselling and treatment. However, due to the lack of official regulations and recommendations, stakeholders, including private and public organizations, face the problem of adequate verification and testing of new digital health technologies. In this regard, proper scientific research is needed before a digital product is deployed for the health sector.The authors emphasize that interactive technologies have a significant potential for optimizing the process of treating patients in healthcare. They can improve the availability and quality of medical care, as well as increase patient satisfaction.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice of Nigerian health care practitioners regarding the use of herbal medications in the therapy of COVID-19. This was an online survey of Nigerian healthcare practitioners. To assess the level of relationship among research variables, descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were used. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Many (77.1%) respondents are aware of claims of the use of herbal medicines for COVID-19, 22.9% of the respondents reported that herbal medicines can be used as cure for COVID-19 while 41.8% believed that herbal medicines can only be used to manage COVID-19 and its symptoms. Most (67.3%) respondents were of the opinion that herbal medicine use for the management of COVID-19 is controversial while 53.3% reported that the use of herbal medicine to manage COVID-19 cannot be substantiated. Majority (79.6%) doctors, (85.4%) nurses and 84.3% (pharmacist) were willing to support research into safety and efficacy of herbal medicines to manage COVID-19. Respondents' observed knowledge of the usage of herbal remedies for COVID-19 could be attributed to the growing awareness in herbal-based products/medicines.

The article discusses the prevention of complications of cardiac pathologies. As the author points out, complications associated with heart disease can be serious and even dangerous. Therefore, it is important to consult a doctor in a timely manner and conduct regular medical examinations in order to prevent or detect possible heart problems early. It is also important to lead a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition, regular exercise and smoking cessation. In addition to individual prevention measures, it is necessary to regularly develop and implement State programs for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, which include educational campaigns and subsidizing activities to improve overall health, such as subsidies for physical activity and anti-obesity programs. Large-scale campaigns are also needed to reduce the level of smoking and control alcohol consumption. Keywords: cardiological pathologies, complications, liver

The World Health Organization explained myelodysplastic syndromes as clonal hematopoietic disorders characterized by dysplasia and ineffective hematopoiesis in one or more of the hematopoietic cell lines. Myelodysplastic syndromes have a high probability of transformation into acute myeloid leukemia. Dental care professionals should have a basic understanding of myelodysplastic syndromes to help support patients and deliver safe dental treatment.

Aim: Medicinal plants are widely used as alternative treatment methods for the curing of a wide range of diseases. The current study focuses on the usage of various medicinal plants by the Mising tribe in Gohpur sub-division of Biswanath district, Assam. Methods: An ethnobotanical survey was conducted from April 2021 to August 2021, and data was collected from 25 villages, which are predominantly inhabited by the mising population. A total of 47 informants were interviewed in a face-to-face manner with the help of a readymade questionnaire. Results: A total of 113 medicinal plant species were documented from the study area. which are divided into 102 genera and 56 families. Malvaceae and Poaceae has the most medicinal plants (6 species each), followed by Asteraceae with 5 species, Lamiaceae; Solanaceae; Moraceae; Euphorbiaceae and Zingiberaceae with 4 species each, Fabaceae; Liliaceae; Aracaceae; Apocynaceae; Piperaceae; Combretaceae; Cucurbitaceae; Lauraceae and Caesalpiniaceae with 3 species each. The remaining 10 families have 2 species each, and the remaining 29 families have 1 species each. Most of the reported species were herbs (52%), followed by trees (21%), shrubs (14%), and climbers (10%). Juice preparation (40.70%) and leaves (44%) were the most common methods of preparation of drugs and the most commonly used parts of medicinal plants, respectively. Conclusion: A diverse range of medicinal plants were found in the study area and these plants play a key role in mising people's healthcare system. Some medicinal plants are declining rapidly due to various developmental activities and other environmental effects.

Background: Improper shade selection is one of the most common causes behind restorations’ remake and patient dissatisfaction. Multiple protocols and devices have been proposed to address the limitations of visual shade selection. Objective: To compare the accuracy of dental shade matching gathered visually with both VITA Classical (VC) and VITA 3D-Master (V3D) shade guides with those obtained instrumentally with both 3Shape Trios 3 and VITA Easyshade® Advance 4.0. Materials and Methods: For visual shade selection (VSS), one- hundred participants from King AbdulAziz University, Faculty of Dentistry participated in the study and asked to select the shade of six masked shade tabs from both VC [A1, A2, B1] and V3D [1M1, 2M3, 3R1.]. Later, Instrumental shade determination (ISD) was completed by one experienced participant for six cycles using: VEasy and Trios 3. Results: Significant difference was found between VSS and ISD. The results suggested that although participants significantly preferred VC over V3D in terms of VSS, this did not improve the shade selection performance. Besides, in ISD, no significant difference was reported between VEsay and Trios 3. There was no statistical significance difference between neither Trios 3 when combined with VC and V3D nor between VEasy when combined with VC and V3D. VEasy showed the best shade selection performance when combined with V3D, although the difference was non-significant. Conclusion: The result of the present study supports the promising use of the intra oral scanner 3Shape Trios 3 and dental spectrophotometer VITA Easyshade® Advance 4.0. Combination with a visual selection method may result in more accurate and reliable results.

Objectives: To evaluate the efficiency of acupuncture at the acupoint of Bi’nao for hypophasis and the mechanisms responsible for effect in the cerebral cortex. Methods: Participants with hypophasis were selected from patients with incompletely recovered Bell’s palsy and randomly allocated into Bi’nao group, Sham Bi’nao group and healthy control group with 33 participants per group. Acupuncture therapy was applied at the real or sham Bi’nao acupoint to compare efficiency. Clinical effects were evaluated by the House-Brackman Scale (HBS), Eye Crack Width Measurement (ECWM) scale and Eyelid Strength Assessment (ESA) before and after therapy. Regions of the brain cortex that were stimulated by acupuncture were detected by task-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. Results: HBS and ESA scores in the Bi’nao group were lower than in the other two groups (P<0.05) while ECWM scores were higher (P<0.05). The cingulate cortex and cerebellum were activated during acupuncture stimulation in the Bi’nao group when compared to both the Sham Bi’nao group and the healthy control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture at the acupoint Bi’nao increased the recovery of hypophasis in patients with incomplete recovered Bell’s palsy. The underlying mechanism might be associated with the activation of the cingulate cortex and cerebellum.

Methods: Participants with hypophasis were selected from patients with incompletely recovered Bell’s palsy and randomly allocated into Bi’nao group, Sham Bi’nao group and healthy control group with 33 participants per group. Acupuncture therapy was applied at the real or sham Bi’nao acupoint to compare efficiency. Clinical effects were evaluated by the House-Brackman Scale (HBS), Eye Crack Width Measurement (ECWM) scale and Eyelid Strength Assessment (ESA) before and after therapy. Regions of the brain cortex that were stimulated by acupuncture were detected by task-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. Results: HBS and ESA scores in the Bi’nao group were lower than in the other two groups (P<0.05) while ECWM scores were higher (P<0.05). The cingulate cortex and cerebellum were activated during acupuncture stimulation in the Bi’nao group when compared to both the Sham Bi’nao group and the healthy control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture at the acupoint Bi’nao increased the recovery of hypophasis in patients with incomplete recovered Bell’s palsy.
